Ricin-exposed man out of coma – CNN.com

(CNN) — A man believed to have been exposed to the deadly poison ricin in a hotel room in Las Vegas, Nevada, is out of his coma and is being questioned by authorities, FBI Special Agent David Staretz said Friday.

Interesting. So, either a) he was in a coma for reasons unrelated to ricin exposure, or b) ricin exposure isn’t the 100% lethal it’s touted to be. I have no idea which.
